Dreadful Predictions by AGW Alarmists

Climate predictions have failed Australia; in 2009 the
catastrophic Black Sunday and in 2010 the Wivenhoe disaster, demonstrate that
clearly.

But has that stopped the likes of Tim Flannery, a proven
failure at prediction, from continuing to make outrageous claims about future
doom and gloom from AGW? Of course not.

Two recent reports continue this disgraceful exhibition of
predicted catastrophe for Australia.

The first concerns the fate of Lake
Eyre. Andrew Bolt has some fun with this egregious and fraudulent bit of
scaremongering. The ‘paper’ is written by a who’s
who of environmental and aboriginal activists and claims that rising
temperatures will decimate the indigenes people living around Lake Eyre in the
Arabunna country.

The problem is, there have been no rising temperatures in
Arabunna country since 1975 and they have been falling for 7 years as Bolt
graphically shows:

So despite this
conclusive evidence contradicting the apparently peer-reviewed paper which cost
$240,000
it has still been published. This just about sums up the AGW science;
contradicted by reality but still publicised and disseminated as though it were
true.

In addition the Country Towns report relies on
temperature records in Australia which have been prepared by the Bureau of
Meteorology. This temperature record is highly problematic as I explain at Jo Nova’s.

Every conclusion made in the report, therefore,
is based on suspect scientific information. The report also wheels out the
usual predictions about extreme weather [section 2.3.1] and sea level rise and
the usual despoliation of the Great Barrier Reef [page 39].

Extreme weather, droughts, floods, cyclones,
is the new paradigm of AGW. There is NO evidence to support this. In respect of
droughts, professor David Stockwell has shown the CSIRO’s predictions of future
droughts has no credence based on historical
records.

In Australia attempts were made to brand the
Black Saturday fires in Victoria and the Wivenhoe floods in QLD as examples of
an increase in extreme weather. They were not with the 1974 floods and others
being just as bad and the 1939 Black Friday fires being almost identical to the
2009 ones.

So, the situation is that even if we accept
the temperature records from BOM as being accurate there is NO evidence of extreme
weather.

Likewise sea level is not increasing in Australia or globally in a way which is as predicted by
AGW.

The Great Barrier Reef, despite repeated
predictions of doom by Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, who is the
Great Barrier Reef equivalent of Tim Flannery, is not threatened.

Other than the above fiascos where reliance is
based on dodgy and discredited scientific sources and information the report
makes no attempt to define basic criteria for considering AGW, such as the
“primary and secondary impacts of Climate Change” [page 6]. The report also
lists the Delphi method as being its primary method of ratification [page 7].
This involves the authors/sources refining each others’ contributions through
periodic dialogue. This would seem to be a pointless exercise since all the
authors have as their assumption that AGW is real. In fact the Report
unequivocally accepts the science of AGW [page 16].

In short the Report is another waste of time
and space and money. Perhaps the only true thing the Report concludes is that
many country towns would be unlikely to survive even if AGW were not true.

The AGW industry is self-generating now. It
references itself and does not even pretend to have any credibility. In that respect
it is like the current ALP/Green government.

Sir Henry Fraser has an impressive CV.
Barbados' newest knight, retired university professor, Dr. Henry Fraser, received the Accolade of Knight of St. Andrew, in the 2014 Independence Day Hours. Sir Henry Fraser was named as a result of The Knighthood of St. Andrew being bestowed on him for his outstanding contribution to the medical profession and representation of Barbadian culture, especially in the area of its architectural history.Sir Henry, a medical practitioner by profession, has worked for many years as a lecturer in medicine at the University of the West Indies and now serves as an Independent Senator in the Barbados Parliament where he has gained an outstanding reputation for his work on the historic treasures of Barbados.

He has received a plethora of other awards, including the UWI’s Pelican Award, Paul Harris Fellow of Rotary International and the Gold Crown of Merit (GCM) in the Barbados Honours of 1992.
